I haven’t followed this story closely, but this is the first time I’ve seen a “D” after her name. I figured she was a Dem because if she was a Republican, that would have been in every headline.

“She ought to prosecuted for that wig-hat alone.”

Thanks. I am now cleaning my monitor as I spewed on it in a fit of laughter.

Imagine that she looks in the mirror and says to herself; No one will even know.

Maybe she’s right. The white Sec of State did worse and pays no consequence.

Is it true that of the $800,000 in question that only $1200 went to the students?

I see a 'only because I'm black' in this statement, but not a 'i did not use that money for myself for personal needs, and in the trial you will see all money went to the students'

I'm in Chicago, a local city council woman said the same (racist feds) then later pleaded guilty and did the years

Put on your hi-heel sneakers, put your wig hat on your head

Well, I’m pretty sure now baby, pretty soon you’re gonna knock ‘em dead

(from the article) : "U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., and her chief of staff pleaded not guilty
after being indicted last week on multiple fraud charges and other federal offenses."

Its a typical DemoRAT excuse :
She got confused between Scruples
and Scrapples :" scrapple was made from the bits and pieces of the pig not suited for anything else!"
Does she look like a piggey ?
You decide !

I wish it wasn’t so, but stereotypes exist because of so many perpetuators.

The woman looks like she stepped straight out of a racist cartoon.
